My "101 Dalmatians" collection contains items related to Disney's classic "101 Dalmatians" and it's all versions and sequels, and Dalmatian dogs generally.
My collection basically consists of six parts (for now):
- Toys and figures
- Media
- Books
- Pages from magazines
- Various items
- Drawings
In this thread I won't be posting my drawings, because there is a special, very well known section for art.
I started collecting (101) Dalmatians stuff 10 years ago. It started when my grandmother went to buy a Lion King toy for me. She didn't find it, and instead of Simba, she brought me a rubber Dalmatian puppy toy. And so I became interested in Dalmatians. At that time, there was a magazine for children called "Disney and me", and there I read a lot about "101 Dalmatians". I found out about canine and human characters, and became interested in that movie. I was collecting Dalmatian dog toys. I had a lot of rubber toys, and several plushies. Already at that time, I succeeded to collect 101 toys. I also had some other stuff which at that time wasn't so important as it is now. But what I mostly wanted is to watch the original animated classis "One Hundred And One Dalmatians". At that time, DVD didn't exist and the movies weren't available to download from internet. I was asking around for that movie but I didn't succeed to find it.
With the time, I forgot about Dalmatians, and had some other obsessions and collectible hobbies.
Ten years later, in November 2008, I was in a market where I saw "101 Dalmatians - Platinum Edition" DVD. When I saw it, I realised that there is just a nylon cover preventing me to watch the movie that I used to want so much. I got that DVD, and "Patch's London Adventure" as a gift for Christmas 2008, a little more than one year ago. I became obsessed with "101 Dalmatians" again, as if I never stopped. It was like waking up from 10 years long dream. Now I adore "101 Dalmatians" again, and I'm a passionate collector of items related to "101 Dalmatians" and Dalmatian dogs generally.
I will start posting photos on New Year, because this month I'm in a crisis with gigabytes
